Course Procedure A studio does not operate upon a daily class plan for all teachers or for all sections. Several teachers are involved with this course; each has flexibility in scheduling presentation of materials and due dates. At the same time, each teacher is expected to cover basic ideas expressed in the outline of the course.

6 hours of studio each week determines approximately three-fourths (3/4) of the grade. One fourth (1/4) of grade is determined from out-of-class assignments. Out-of-class assignments require approximately four hours weekly. These exercises correspond to the studio projects which are developed during six contact hours each week. Original paintings and renderings are developed. Copy work may be assigned for studying particular techniques or color schemes: however, all “copies” must be labeled as such with full credits given to the original author. Portfolio review at the end of the term includes all work which has been produced in the class. Daily evaluations are expressed in the studio environments as verbal critiques. Evaluations of all assigned projects are made by assessment of individual progress and by comparison to standards of excellence set by current and past classes by the faculty of record.

Civility, good manners and use of common sense are expected in the classroom at all times, including after hours. Students should not work on other class-work during a scheduled studio. Please turn off cell phones and beepers during class. E-mail notices from your instructor to your ttu e-mail address are considered as official notification. Please check your e-mail regularly.

Points are deducted for late work. *attendance policy: Regular and punctual attendance at all scheduled classes is expected. The fourth unexcused absence results in receipt of a failing grade for the class. If you must be absent, contact the instructor immediately. Do not wait until you receive a letter noting excessive absences from the academic dean.
